Macros
Macros are sets of actions that can affect the local DMP 128 Plus as well as other Extron
products on the same TCP/IP network. They can be configured in Emulate or Live mode
via an Ethernet connection only, and either saved to a configuration file or pushed onto
DMP128 Plus internal memory. Macros are comprised of up to 32 actions that occur in
sequence to quickly configure a system for specific applications.
